Spring Shop Hop

Pocket Full of Pinnies Spring Shop HopOne of my favorite activities is when we get to participate in a local shop hop. Not only is it a great opportunity to meet new Sewists in our area, but it is also a chance for us to share our passion with the larger Community. This year, Box Car Quilts is coordinating a Spring Shop Hop, and we are thrilled to be on the list! 

The Pocket Full of Pinnies Spring Shop Hop will run March 6 - 18.  There are 12 DFW-area shops who are each offering a free pincushion pattern to paticipants. If you visit each shop, you'll also be entered into a raffle for a gift basket from each shop. In addition, one grand prize winner will receive a bundle of gift cards from all 12 participating shops. 

View the full list of shops and shop hours.

This spring, get out and explore what is offered at your local sewing shops!

Happy Sewing!
Stefanie

Tips from our Team

From Joanne, our Baby Lock Machine Specialist: Get a crisp, even seam with a wooden Clapper.  Press your seams open with your iron, and then place the Clapper on top of the seam for a perfectly flat crease.  Available in two sizes for all of your project needs.
